CCS/AFE4490SPO2EVM: AFE4490 Firmware in CCS - Header File Issues

I followed those steps but the import failed. 

I got it to import this time but it still isn't working. There are no files in it. 

It looks like some broken links (I assume you did install the AFE4490SPO2EVM Firmware Source v1.4 (Rev. A) package).

Go to 'Project -> Properties' menu and in the dialog box that opens, select the 'Resource' option and take a screenshot of what you see.

Example:

Note that the location of the project folder should be something similar to what you see in my screenshot.

One other potential issues - is your workspace folder name 'LaunchPad Test'? If so, I would recommend a workspace folder name without spaces:

Here is the screenshot:

I also did try to make a new workspace called AFE4490 and when I imported this project I had the same issue. It said all the files were not found. 

Your project path is:

C:\AFE4490EVMFWSRC-v1.4\AFE4490EVM_FW_SRC_v1.4_Release\CCS\AFE4490EVM\AFE4490EVM

The project is one subfolder too deep. Please make sure the project folder is one level up. Example:

C:\AFE4490EVMFWSRC-v1.4\AFE4490EVM_FW_SRC_v1.4_Release\CCS\AFE4490EVM

Thanks

Folder should look like:

That is what happened when I went into the CCS folder and unzipped the file. It made a folder AFE4490EVM with nothing and then I open that folder and I see everything else that you see. When I back out to the first AFE4490EVM folder I get that error that the import failed. 

It is the extra folder that is the issue. You need to extract the zip contents to the 'CCS' folder.

When you right-click on the zip, select 'Extract All' in the context menu.

Then select the path to extract to. It needs to be: C:\AFE4490EVMFWSRC-v1.4\AFE4490EVM_FW_SRC_v1.4_Release\CCS

You may need to modify the path so that it looks like the above. The default may have an 'AFE4490EVM' at the end which needs to be removed.

I tried on my laptop, the computer I have been using this whole time, and get 29 errors:

Then I tried again on a desktop and only got 3 errors:

Your first screenshot looks better despite more errors. In the second screenshot, I see broken links to the AFE4490, HAL and USB folder in the Project Explorer. Hence your first environment is correct. "descriptors.h" is in "C:\AFE4490EVMFWSRC-v1.4\AFE4490EVM_FW_SRC_v1.4_Release\USB\USB_config" and should be in your include search path. Can you expand your Includes folder and see if the proper search paths exist like below?

Thanks

Yeah mine looks very different from yours. 

It looks like for the above screenshot, you have the project copied into your workspace folder. When you import the project from C:\AFE4490EVMFWSRC-v1.4\AFE4490EVM_FW_SRC_v1.4_Release\AFE4490\CCS\AFE4490EVM, you do NOT what to copy the project folder to your workspace. the default option is often to copy it so you must make sure you disable that option: 

Please remove the existing project in your workspace folder and re-import the project again with the "copy" option disabled.

Thanks

I have had that disabled and I still get the errors upon import. 

Thanks! I got it to work. I actually updated my version of CCS. I was using 9.0.1 and installed 9.1.0 and was able to recreate everything you did exactly the same. Do you suggest I install the compiler that use original used with the project (4.2.7 [MSP430])?
